A new Wes Anderson film almost always means three things: Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, and a solid soundtrack. And yes, all three of those things are true about Moonrise Kingdom, Anderson's latest film, which hits theaters in New York and Los Angeles May 25, with a wider release in June.

Especially now that Jarvis Cocker has signed on to lend a hand with the film's soundtrack. In an interview with Time Out Chicago (conducted by former Pitchfork contributor Brent DiCrescenzo), Jarvis reveals that he's written "three, four songs, and some of that might become bits of the score" for the film.

Cocker got on the subject following a line of questioning about his skepticism towards the Disney corporation, which he explored in the song "Disney Time" from his debut LP. "If you criticize Disney," Cocker points out, "the next step is 'do better.' I get the chance to do it myself and corrupt young minds." This can only end well.

Cocker's label was unable to confirm anything about this just yet.

Of course, Jarvis will take a little time out in Chicago over the weekend to take the stage at the Pitchfork Music Festival. He's got a pair of New York dates lined up after that, and then, presumably, it's back to the foxhole with him to work up more Fantastic new tunes, including that second solo joint. He told BBC6 Music earlier this week that the new album is going to "rock".
